Hey everyone! It's Friday, and if that alone isn't reason to celebrate, how about joining us in celebrating World Photography Day!
As scrapbookers, our photos are often the foundation or starting points of our pages - isn't it a wonderful feeling to look through your photos and smile as the memories come flooding in? As you notice the small details, the moments in time that you've captured, that were here and now they're gone? You know the feeling, the story starts to come together and you can't get that cardstock out fast enough!
According to the World Photography Day site, "World Photography Day originates from the invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic processes developed by Louis Daguerre. On January 9, 1839, The French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process. A few months later, on August 19, 1839, the French government announced the invention as a gift “Free to the World.”
Your photos are a gift, not only to yourself and your family but to the generations to come! Celebrate World Photography Day by taking a moment to capture a few photos today, and of course it would not be a celebration on the SCT blog without a prize!
"Picture Keeper is the simplest automatic picture backup device. Unique built in software automatically finds and copies all of your photos.

I would absolutely love to win a Picture Keeper. I lost all of my digital photos once and it was extremely upsetting because I lost the last pictures that had been taken of my late husband. If I had a Picture Keeper this never would have happened. Thank you SCT for all of your amazing give-aways!!

Would love one of these to help store the 13,000+ pictures i took during the 6 weeks that my stepdaughter visited this summer!

I often go on "Photo Safaries" and have thousands of photos stored on various media devices, but the Picture Keeper sounds like a great back up device! I would love to win this giveaway!
Thanks
